Term Management Tools

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   I was looking for a plugin for hours that had exactly this functionality, to be able to organize the categories of a third-party project, I was even afraid it wouldn’t work because it was very old but it worked perfectly! Thanks for creating something like this!! You saved me!

   Incredibly useful and well maintained plugin that has always worked flawlessly for many years now! And it works with WooCommerce product attribute taxonomy terms! This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by strarsis. This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by strarsis.
